You read that right.
A TWELVE-page ebook brings in $6,000 a month. And that’s just on the front-end.
It’s a very simple (and short) guide, but it’s a life-saver for those who need it. (It shows people who have a certain financial problem how to get a checking account when no regular bank will give them one.)
The author, Alexis, probably wrote it in a matter of an hour or so. Puts a new perspective on the question: “So, how much do you make an hour?”…
————————————————-
See the full story on how she did this right here >>
————————————————-
Now obviously, it’s the salesletter and her marketing experience that make this possible, but successful product creation is still one hell of a lot easier than you might think.
The problem is that many of us equate “ebook” to being a regular book, except in electronic format. The reality is that the people who typically buy ebooks online are buying an answer to a problem. They’re buying results.
Not some literary achievement - by any stretch…
They want to know how to make their cat to stop pissing on the floor. Or how to fix their credit so they can afford to buy a house. Or how to stop the bank from foreclosing on their house. Or how to find out if their partner is cheating on them. Or how to otherwise fix a desperate problem…
They don’t care how long the book, or report, or “blueprint” or whatever “it” is - they care about solving their problem. That’s exactly why Alexis can recruit one satisfied customer after the next selling a 12-page PDF for $24.95 a pop. And that’s just where the selling begins - we all know that the “backend” is where all the money is in any niche that lends itself to repeat purchases.
So how can you cash in on this?
It’s all about learning how to identify desperate markets, and then concisely deliver the solution they want.
I’ve been referring to Alexis Dawes, who’s also the author of what I consider to be the absolute best “step by step” blueprint for creating info-products that actually sell: Desperate Buyers Only
I’ve read through her blueprint many times, and every time, I come away with a new perspective on just how easy this really is. And I can personally relate to the excitement of watching A FEW DAYS WORK translate into what would be considered a full-time income for most people.
So can you, and here’s how:
First of all, yes, I am absolutely trying to sell you on Desperate Buyers Only. But not just because I get a commission out of it (which I do) - it’s because it’s the only blueprint I’m aware of that correctly shows you the REALITY of how to make it big with info-products, and it’s written in the same style as my own ebook, “Confessions of a Lazy Super-Affiliate”.
In other words, zero hype. Entirely actionable.
In fact, there’s realistically no reason why can’t finish your first hot-selling info-product within 24 hours of getting Alexis’ blueprint. Let me explain why…
Here’s “Desperate Buyers Only” in a nutshell:
Without giving away any of Alexis’ secrets or, in my opinion, deadly tactics for whipping out a hot-selling product with ease, I’m going to show you how truly easy it is to launch your own product - and how much profit you can realistically expect to see as a result…
1. Identify a Desperate Market
I covered this in Part 1 of Confessions, but not as it relates to creating your own products. The key here is to identify problems that people would pay to solve without a moment’s hesitation. You can check out ClickBank’s marketplace for some ideas, or peruse through Yahoo Answers (or similar sites) to give you a good idea on what’s in demand for starters.
Look for problems that would keep people up at night. (And yes, the “cure insomnia” market is both a shining and literal example of that :-))
Alexa’s got a very precise sequence for not only identifying desperation and markets where zero-hesitation purchases are “business as usual”, but also how to specifically determine people’s exact wants, needs and problems. Their psychological breaking-points, so to speak.
From there, you simply “reverse engineer” the process, package it, and sell it.
2. Rapid Product Creation
Alexa’s running example throughout “Desperate Buyers Only” is the 12-page wonder that brings in about $200/day in sales. The beauty of this approach is that, as she puts it, “you can take free apples, turn them into apple-juice, and then sell it”.
Strangely enough, that sounds a lot like my previous blog post 
Here’s an example of exactly how this happens:
Some of ClickBank’s top-selling “info-products” are really nothing more than glorified link directories (re: all those “legit online jobs” networks, or the “paid survey programs”, etc.), or otherwise a compilation of FREE STUFF that the users might not otherwise have known about.
And all it takes is a quick glance at their affiliate gravities to see that most of these products are selling into the hundreds of copies daily…
Now, I know full well that many of those products are, well, less than respectable in the way that they’re marketed. However - remember my previous post - the anatomy of a “breakthrough product” is simply common sense that’s been “systemized” into an action-oriented guide, leading the reader to do the inevitable in order to get the results they want.
(See my previous post for a full explanation on that)
So you don’t have to be unethical to sell people “free” stuff. Instead, you make an effective blueprint for them to follow - but it’s easier than you might think.
In fact, in keeping with the example above, making a comprehensive resource directory along with an explanation of exactly what to do with each resource would be incredibly valuable to someone who, for example, was wondering about how to actually find some kind of legitimate paid work via the internet. And all you’d really be doing is merging a “glorified directory” with a helpful step-by-step approach to accomplishing their desired result (working online).
Here’s what else Alexis covers in full detail in her blueprint:
* Compiling Actual “Insider Secrets”, Even When You’re On the OUTSIDE (in Any Market)
* Writing Your Short Report So That Readers Love It and GET Results (Specific Writing Methods)
* Naming the Product So It Grabs Attention And Sells (She has a killer “fill in the blanks” template with lots of suitable product name types)
* Pricing the Product So it Sells (This is normally very tricky - but her approach is surprisingly easy and hard to screw up)
3. Marketing & Promotion
This is where the rubber meets the road, and all too often - where a lot of “would be” info-product marketers end up biting the dust in confusion, poor results and failure.
Your pitch-page needs to convert; and for that to happen, you need targeted traffic.
Back to square one?
Not at all…
What I really appreciate about Desperate Buyers Only is Alexis’ style of writing - she just tells it like it is. And that includes her exact process for writing sales letters (it’s easier than you’ve been led to believe), as well as the precise sequence - including every marketing activity in full disclosure - that she does in order to generate targeted traffic.
I can tell you right now that as a product-owner, the HUGE advantage you’ll have over a regular website is the potential for traffic from active affiliates, bar none.
THAT is the ultimate strategy, folks. And if you’ve never seen how much traffic you can get by recruiting your own affiliates - you, my friend, are in for a very pleasant surprise.
Especially if you’re listed with a public network like ClickBank. It’s absolutely crazy how much attention your product will get once it starts selling consistently - that’s when things really start to take off for you. For example, even though it’s been a long time since I’ve made any even remote attempts to garner promotions or JV’s for “Confessions of a Lazy Super-Affiliate”, did you know that on average, it still gets over 500 visitors per day just from ClickBank Affiliates?
(Yeah, yeah, I know - I’ll get my butt in gear and drum up some more attention soon - I’ve been busy…)
I check my affiliate reporting stats every so often, and every day I get referrals from more than at least 50 different affiliates. Of course, it’s usually only a handful of those that produce any sales, but still…
…try doing that with article marketing, squidoo, etc
So anyway - that’s the real power in having your own affiliate force behind you. And that’s a low-end example. I know that as an affiliate, I drive more than 1,200 referrals to a certain vendor every day. I can’t imagine how much traffic they get from the other hundreds of “me’s” out there doing the same…
Anyway, sales-copy writing and traffic generation are topics that are too complex to cover in a blog post, but they’re covered in specific detail in Desperate Buyers Only, and it’s specific to info-products, which is in some ways a lot different than how I lay things out in “Confessions”.
For example, a major part of her strategy is actually selling info-products on what she calls “springboard sites”, where members in a certain niche are specifically looking for information to BUY. (Hint: Ebay could be considered a springboard site, by this definition)
This makes it easier to sell a product in comparison to just relying on search engine results - because you’re not competing with results that have free information.
Alright - that’s Desperate Buyers Only in a very small nutshell.
——————————————————–
Now let’s have some fun:
How Much Can You Realistically Expect to Make With Your Own Info-Product?
Well, let’s boil it down and see for ourselves…
Let’s assume that you decide to sell a short report on “How to Stop a Foreclosure!”
I’d say that’s a pretty desperate topic, and one that would certainly lend itself to a “no-hesitation” sale - assuming that your pitch-page presses the right psychological buttons, and - of course - that your product delivers valuable information. It’s also a timely topic, due to the current state of the US economy.
It’s also a topic in which your prospect DOES NOT want to waste their time - time is of the essence! They want short, fast, effective answers to some very serious questions. And that means that your report had better be brief, to the point and helpful.
Now let’s evaluate potential traffic streams. The Google Adwords “estimator” tool shows that the keyword “stop foreclosure” would generate an estimated 50-ish clicks per day if your PPC ad was in one of the top 3 results.
That’s just if you had an AD in that position. Keep in mind that, according to heat map tests across a variety of Google searches and users (re: StomperNet videos), the organic results get at least 5 times more eye-focus, and therefore clicks, than the paid results.
So we can realistically say that there’s probably about (at least) 200 searches on Google, daily, for that keyphrase. This obviously doesn’t include the traffic on MSN, Yahoo, ASK, and others, and it ALSO doesn’t include the countless other keyphrases and long-tail keyphrases that will make up a much larger SEO approach (ex. “foreclosure help”, “prevent foreclosure”, etc.)
And remember - you’ll also have the leverage of being able to recruit affiliates to promote your product and get traffic FOR you.
So what’s a realistic traffic expectation for your product site?
At a quick glance, I’d say that it would be realistic to expect a range somewhere between 200 to 800 visitors a day, including SEO traffic, affiliates, articles, forum marketing, Ebay, etc. And I’m leaning on the conservative side of things.
Now, let’s say that we price the product at $24.95, and that we’re able to get the pitch-page converting at even 3%, which would not be too difficult for targeted visitors in a desperate mindset. That’s 1 sale per 33 visitors on average.
So if we can realistically say that the product site could eventually (and potentially) reach a target of 400 visitors a day (the midpoint of our estimated “range”), then that would equate to roughly 12.1 sales per day.
How does the money break down?
At 12.1 sales per day, that’s about 363 sales per month.
Since at least half of those would be the result of affiliate traffic (182 sales of 363), and your commission rate was 60%, then that immediately takes your price point per sale down to $9.80
If you were using ClickBank as the sales processor (primarily, not including Ebay sales via PayPal), then $1 plus 7% gets eaten up for each non-referred sale, and $0.67 plus 5% for the affiliate sales at the 60% commission. To make it simple, let’s just take off about $1.60 per sale total. So that comes out to around $580.80 in processing fees for the month.
You’d have earned $1783.60 from affiliate-referred sales, $4515.95 from direct sales, and the processing fees were $580.80. Your net profit for an average month - in this figurative example - would be $5718.75
And that’s just the beginning…
The beauty of selling affordable info-products is that you’re gathering a client-base who are already prequalified as buyers. They bought from you once, and they’ll from you - and your recommendations - for as long as you have their best interests in mind and present them with useful, relevant offers.
Although the “earning potential” of a client-base is particularly hard to guage (it’s practically unlimited), let’s keep it simple by factoring in just ONE backend promotion for this example. If you do a bit of research in the “stop foreclosure” niche, you’ll see hundreds of financial/consolidation and legal services offering their services to potential (and distressed) clients. What you want to look for, or establish, is either a commission-based affiliate program or one that pays per lead.
Let’s say you establish a marketing arrangement with a company that agrees to pay you $10 per targeted lead for every “foreclosure” client that requests information as a result of your referral from a trackable web-form (CPA). This is a common practice in a variety of fincancial/lending markets, and $10 per lead is realistic in this scenario. You can find offers like this, by the way, on networks like AzoogleAds.com and MaxBounty, etc.
Because the $10 CPA commission occurs just by having them request information from this company - and that would be one of the highly-recommended actions in your ebook - it would be realistic to expect no less than 25% of your customers to do so, and that’s being conservative. Remember - they’re not buying anything, just filling out an information request form.
25% of your 12.1 daily buyers equates to 3 form submissions per day, equaling roughly 90 leads referred per month, adding an extra $900.00 per month to your existing income stream.
Again - that’s being very conservative, and it doesn’t include the autoresponder follow-ups, affiliate promos, complimentary products and other CPA offers that you’d be presenting to them after the initial sale. Keep in mind that customer lists GROSSLY out-perform “prospect” lists in terms of promotion.
Example: I have a customer list comprised of 2,000 leads in a certain niche, and a prospect list of about 2,700 leads in the same niche. I mailed both of them the same offer about a week ago. The customer list generated over 60 sales (at $50 per commission). The prospect list generated about 15 sales. This pattern is consistently what you’ll see.
Anyway, that brings my figurative - yet realistic - example of what you can expect from launching your OWN “Desperate Buyers Only” info-product to just over $6,690.00 per month.
Can you see why product-creation is well worth mastering?
If you want to see how possible this really is - and if you want to learn from someone who’s got more experience than me when it comes to quick product creation that gets results like that - then I absolutely recommend Desperate Buyers Only.
It shows you how to do everything you need to do in order to get results like my example - and beyond…
Now go and make yourself your OWN 12-page masterpiece!
Cheers,
-Chris
P.S. I had a very clear “reminder” of just how powerful it is to target desperate buyers last week. My wife and I got a new dog, and she’s great.
But what’s not great is her tendency to pee, poo, bite, jump (and everything else) in our nice, clean condo. And believe me - when you watch - in horror - as your pet systematically destroys expensive furniture, your Sony Amplifier, etc. - all those $39 “dog secret” ebooks start looking pretty damn appealing…
To myself, and no doubt thousands of others

Hey Chris,
Enjoy your stuff. Just a question… The salesletter looked a little out of date. For example, the screenshots are at least a couple of years old. I guess it must still be doing well. Is her book recently updated?
Just a concern.

Hey Chris
Nice piece of copy, smooth, a little mouth watering and non of those clunky “bad” nlp language patterns going around lately. I have nothing against them when done well but few have the knack.
I think I’ll give Alexis another look.

13 admin // Mar 15, 2008 at 11:32 pm
Matt,
So obviously this doesn’t work anymore, then.
You’re right - trick’s on you - information products stopped selling in 2006.
ClickBank’s been hitting really hard times lately - people just simply stopped buying solutions to their problems.
I must simply be imagining all the sales I see daily flooding into my inbox, my CB accounts, etc. In 2008.
I’m deluded.
Thanks for bringing us all back to reality.
————————————————————
I’m being a bit of an ass because this general perception is EXACTLY why a lot of people will never make a real income in this business.
ANY business, for that matter…
What exactly?
The belief that only “new” and “secret” things are the only way to generate the big results in marketing.
NOTHING could be further than the truth.
Everything you need to generate MILLIONS in revenues is all hiding in plain sight. Let me spell it out for you.
Here’s what the million-dollar internet marketers are doing:
* Creating products
* Building lists
* Getting traffic from a series of partnerships (strategic partnerships, affiliates, back-scratching, etc.)
* Getting traffic from search engines (to their OWN sites)
* Getting traffic from paid sources (not all of them, though)
* In general, building a business around THEM, not (primarily) other people’s products
The problem is, people don’t want to accept this as being true. Well, deal with it!
Yes, it takes work. Yes, it takes confidence and action. And yes, there’s more responsibility involved.
But - how much “more” work is it to be on the top of the ladder then it is at the bottom?
Do you think the affiliates who crank out articles all day long and litter up USFreeAds.com and Squidoo are pulling in 6 figures a month?
NO!!
It’s the products that they’re all busy promoting.
———————————————————-
This worked just great in 2005.
Almost as well as it works today.

14 Matt // Mar 16, 2008 at 10:58 am
“bit of an ass” is somewhat of an understatement
I know they still work. Some of the “old” methods work even better now than they did back then, even.
I was trying to point to the relevance from a sales perspective. If someone is selling an information product, why not show results that are as current as possible… not from three years ago?
If she is claiming her methods still work, why not prove it to her potential market? That’s all I’m saying
15 admin // Mar 16, 2008 at 11:16 am
Yeah, you’re probably right - I did manage to slip off the handle there a bit…
However, I felt a point had to be made.
Anyway, you’re right about the potential confusion about something seeming out-dated when there’s a timeline attached to it’s “proof” card.
It’s a catch-22 though, for the author.
In the marketing niche, people really don’t buy unless they “see the money”.
I agree though, Alexis should update her sales stats from time to time.
Sorry about the over-reaction Mark.
At least it was an educational one

16 Scott // Mar 16, 2008 at 12:54 pm
Hi Chris,
I’m really liking your information and your delivery style. Showing some personality is a good thing.
Relevantly, I was reading some Drayton Bird (English old-timer, worked with David Ogilvy) and he mentioned how “viral marketing” has been around for years, only it was called “tell a friend” or “member get a member”. Of course, the internet gives it a whole new scale, but the concept is not new at all.
Thanks for your insights.
17 Tom Borowski // Mar 16, 2008 at 4:28 pm
I read Alexis’ ebook about a year ago and after reading this post I’m going back to read it again - and act on it this time
I believe DBO teaches timeless principles rather than some marketing technique that will fizzle out soon. People will always pay to get their problems solved and people will always pay to satisfy their passions. I know I will, and although I like to believe I’m special, I’m just the same as everybody else in that respect

I think I’m going to have to check this one out. I had seen it before on the Warrior Forum recommended list. To be honest I was a bit turned off by the fact that the page didn’t seem updated.
I also thought $77 was a little steep, but I guess I’d only have to sell about 3-4 info products before it paid for itself.
I think I’m going to have to check this one out next. I’m definitely doing super well with the affiliate sites, but I want something that will have more stability and be less at the mercy of Google (case in point…one of my mini-sites disappeared from the Google rankings). Having affiliates will also be a very nice way to draw sales.
You know what, I’m not sure if Alexis covers this in her book, but you can also use PLR material. I might try that as an experiment.

I bought the DBO ebook months back. And I can say it’s one of the best ebooks I’ve ever spent my money on. I think I need to dig it out tonight and refresh my memory.
Thanks Chris, for the amazing review.

26 Edqesq // Apr 4, 2008 at 6:16 pm
Mr. Rempel:
No knock on anyone intended here, but what do you think is the ratio of ebook purchaser to ebook purchaser who takes action on information contained therein.
Affiliate links are becomeing less secure. Sell your own stuff.
27 admin // Apr 4, 2008 at 6:43 pm
Hi Edquesq,
It depends on the niche (and ebook topic), but for my own product, I’d say the ratio breaks down to something like this:
80% buy on excitement and let it rot on their hard drive.
Another 10% try a few things, but without the consistency or focus to complete a project or build something of value.
And finally, the other 10% will use it as much as possible to experience results ranging from steady to very surprising.
That’s actually a fairly liberal estimate.
The action-takers ratio might be closer to 5%.
In “desperate” niches though where you’re selling more of a technical solution - such as acne cures, or what have you - then the ratio will shift drastically in the other direction.
And I agree with you partly on affiliate linking security. This is why an integrated approach (feeder products to acquire list) is more effective than straight SEO to Aff link.
It’s also more profitable and can create a dependable, rock-solid long-term income stream.
Several, actually.

I purchased the book through you in addition to Link Vana (but not 3-way links…I just don’t like the scheme)
By the way, I have been seeing EXCELLENT results through Link Vana. Instead of paying $2 per post, I just outsource it and end up paying about $.60 per post. You might wanna check out elancer.com
Take it easy man.

33 Scott Million // May 5, 2008 at 7:05 pm
I wanted to share something with all of you if you get the chance to read this post. If you’ll notice in my post above I say,
“You really make it impossible not to buy your suggestions.”
Think about that. Read Chris’s posts and you’ll start to see a pattern.
Chris provides us “here’s how it is” information and then promotes products he uses to amplify results. If you are planning to sell something in the IM niche, try following this format on your next free report / blog post.
1) Tell the audience “how it is” on a subject, say the necessity of building keyword targeted anchor tag links to rank for specific phrases in Google.
Now you’re an “expert” on the subject and you’ve got attention
2) Tell them how they can do that activity for free to promote their website/blog/lens (use Word Tracker for keywords, post on high PR lenses / blogs, post in forums, etc.)
Now you’ve given your readers a “gift”
3) Now tell them how to do that free activity in half the time with xxx product or service.
How can they say “no”? Nobody wants to waste time, especially in the IM world. We all want a quick $6,000/mo income. This style of selling or product reviewing is, in my opinion, the BEST form of marketing you can do, plus you’re actually HELPING people achieve something, not screwing them over.
Think about it

Hey Chris,
Appreciate the enthusiasm and honesty conveyed regarding Desperate Buyers Only.
Despite the questions about the site being updated the overall gist comes across loud and clear.
Make your own product.
Their is another ebook money machine on the market encouraging the same call to action and overall it just comes down to getting off the duff to get it done.
There will always be questions about various details, as our human nature tends to over analyze and factor in all the what- if’s before something happens.
Your posts are very enlightening ,encouraging and very informative.
Thanks for your generosity.

P.S. Thank you Scott for recognizing and breaking the effective and persuasive manner in which Chris teaches and promotes. That in itself is a very valuable formula for affiliate success.

Thanks for an interesting post with some good suggestions. I think a lot of people give up too soon. If they had persisted a few months more, then success would have followed.
36 Kay Rennie // Mar 13, 2009 at 9:44 pm
I’m sorely tempted, but since the financial meltdown $77 US now comes out at $117 AUD (Aussie dollar) so I need to really think about spending that kind of money on something I may not follow through.
Also, as it’s been around a while, there are probably any number of ‘takes’ on the product out there, as that seems to be the recommended strategy - get someone else’s material and copy the hell out of it.
Your ‘confessions’ was great and at the right price. Thanks.

I’m interested in this ebook but since I’ve just bought your own new ebook on 24 hour hot product creation I’m not sure if it’s worth spending another $77?

In response to Kay Rennie above, I also live in Australia and as such, the cost to me would be the same.
Firstly, I would like to point out that the potential to earn a lot more than this purchase price is there for the taking. However, if you consider that you may not follow through, then you should not think about buying this or anything else, because you may never follow through with anything. I say that tongue-in-cheek, because it is obviously an over-exageration.
Another factor to take into account is that you can decide in the next 60 days if it is something you will follow through with and, if you have not followed through and have no intention of following through, you can ask for a refund at the end of, or during, this time.
What I think you should be considering, is “what happens if you DO follow through?” and “what happens if you are successful at following through with this and make a few thousand extra $$$ every month?” Perhaps all the money you may earn using these strategies will change your perception of whether US$77 is really a lot of money, even to us Aussies !!!
Good luck with whatever you choose to do. Remember that you can only make money by doing things - the right way.
Kind regards,
Barry

You know, I purchased this e-book from Alexis some time ago, but had completely forgotten about it. It really is all that you say it is, and of course the bottom line of this discussion has to be: create your own product.
That has always been the basis of my own success in online marketing, and it is probably the biggest piece of valuable advice I can offer to those who are looking to the Web as a way to generate their own revenue.
But in the end, whatever you decide, it is taking action that is the first step to success.
